Florida Democrats were angered at a move that had Chick-fil-a restaurants used as voter registration locations on National Voter Registration Day Tuesday.

The local supervisor of elections held voter registration drives at nine area Chick-fil-A locations across Pinellas County, Fla.

“While some Democrats may occasionally dine at Chick-fil-A (and perhaps even members of the LGBT community), the coordination of Pinellas voter registration activities with this right-leaning business very clearly conveys that your office is targeting Republican-leaning voters,” wrote Susan McGrath, head of the county Democratic Executive Committee and leader of the Pinellas Stonewall Democrats, a pro-LGBT group.

McGrath said Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s opposition to same-sex marriage and support for conservative causes should make the popular fast food restaurants places to avoid.

In her letter to Elections Supervisor Deborah Clark, who chose Chick-fil-A as a registration spot, McGrath said the voter drive favored conservatives.

“As an elected official, you have a duty to be evenhanded and fair,” wrote McGrath. “Surely, you and your office staff do understand that using Chick-Fil-A as the base for voter registration activities is not only inherently unfair but overtly partisan as well. This company has a strong and well-understood history of anti-LGBT activism and is publicly associated with Republican Party values.”

McGrath likened a Republican using Chick-fil-A for a voter drive to a Democrat using a Planned Parenthood clinic for the same purpose.

She further suggested that using a place Republicans would flock to was designed to bolster GOP registrations in the county.

A spokesman for Clark said Chick-fil-A was chosen because the fast-food restaurants are popular and convenient locations for voters.
